Simplest way, use "screen", it has to be downloaded but will allow you to connect to a serial command line the same way as Putty.
To install it, run the below with your package manager (dnf for fedora, apt for ubuntu/ debian etc)
sudo dnf install screen
To connect, run as superuser and specify the bauds at the end, depending on the device you are connecting to might differ.
sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 9600
Switches of this century such as Cisco catalysts 9300, the Nexus series, HPE Comwares, Aruba 2930s... Paloaltos 5420, 3020 or 3220s, Cisco FPR1000series... etc are usually on 9600 bauds, although on old 3com switches I had to use 19200 instead, its a thing you ignore until you face and scratch your head for a few mins until you realize its not dead, just speaking a different speed!
